The favorites you had to the main home screen that you add from add-on is there a way to sort them in alphabetical order because some of them are in alphabetical order and some are not

I believe it's in the order that you added them. You can push them up and down to whatever order you like. Not sure if there's an easy alphabetical. C button on keyboard or page looking button on controller.

It would be a nice idea. If you're comfortable mucking about with .xml files it's easy with notepad++ though - just open favourites.xml, select all but the top and bottom lines, edit > line operations > sort lexicographically ascending > save.

How do you do this on Fire TV Second Generation

On my android tab I'd chuck favourites.xml across to my pc, edit it and chuck it back - how you'd do that from a fire tv I've no idea offhand, sorry.

My info would be incorrect for kodi 17. Worked with Aron flux skin on 16.

It still works in 17 - you just need to click on 'favourites' before going into favourites, then the context menu is available and you can move them up and down.
Edit: I'm guessing you mean in estuary. In other skins it should work as before.

How do you click on favorites because when you add in favorites it just goes into a whole section called favorites and it doesn't do anything when you hit the menu button

In estuary on my pc I move down to favourites and press enter. Or left-click on 'favourites' with a mouse. If that doesn't work for you I can't help further - I don't normally use estuary.
